Reflection 11: Your Generous Attitude Makes Me Proud

Your Generosity Proves How Confident & Capable You Are.
When you're generous it says many things to me. It speaks of your kind heart and your willingness to reflect the generous nature of God. It also says something that you might not be aware of. It testifies that you are a man who can afford to be generous because you're capable of replacing whatever you give away. You're confident that your strength and ability, guided by the hand of God, will bring whatever we need, so you are happy to share with others who may be less capable. I hope you never listen when fear tempts you to turn miserly. Remain confident in God's power and your abilities. Keep an open mind. Stay generous. There's no need to be anything less.

'The world says, the more you take, the more you have. Christ says, the more you give, the more you are.' ~Frederick Buechner

Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor. Proverbs 22:9

I've been married for almost 30 years and I've learned several new ways to honor my husband - thanks to your blog. Thank you, Valerie.

Also, I'd like to wish you a Happy Mother's Day.
